SALS Survey Results

As part of the SALS Long Range Plan, member library staff and trustees are asked to complete an annual survey of SALS’ Services.   People are asked to evaluate our services by use, value and satisfaction.  The SALS Board will use the results to develop the next year’s system budget.   Please click here to read the Executive Summary.  If you wish to view the entire survey, please click on the link at the bottom of the Executive Summary.

We thank everyone who took the time to help evaluate our services.  Sara
